Compliance Policies

Our business is built on trust, transparency and sound ethics. These values are the backbone of our compliance program.

We work with many of the largest companies in the financial services industry. Protecting both our clients and experts is a critical part of our job.

We provide our clients with the tools and technology they need to oversee and manage their usage. We set the bar for industry best practices.

Expert Policies

Compliance Training

During the registration process, each expert completes compliance training that covers securities laws, confidentiality laws and our policies. Also, to be eligible to consult with our clients, they must have taken compliance training within the past year.

Project Eligibility Assessment

For every project, Coleman screens potential candidates to assess their eligibility and any potential conflicts of interest. For example, experts are prohibited from consulting about their current employer or other third parties to whom they owe confidentiality obligations.

We also restrict specific industries and classes of experts as appropriate.

Terms & Conditions

Before their first consultation, experts must agree to abide by Coleman's Terms & Conditions, which prohibit the disclosure of confidential and material, non-public information. To be eligible to participate in a consultation, they must have agreed to our Terms & Conditions within the last year, and they are also required to provide current employment information.
